After an enormously successful decade of race victories and production car sales success, Mercedes-Benz decide to launch a brand new SL model to replace the 190 and the 300. Unveiled at the March 1963 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz launched the 230SL Coupe/Roadster with a standard removable hardtop and story canvas soft top. A distinct concave hardtop was designed for the car and lead way to the nickname “The Pagoda SL”. In 1967 Mercedes-Benz introduced the 250SL with a slight increase in horsepower, stiffer suspension and new rear disc brakes. In December of 1967 Mercedes once again unveiled an improved W113 SL, the 280SL. This time with an increased engine to 2.8 litres and 170hp. The 280SL was built for model year 1968-1971 and of the 23,885 built, only half came to the United States. The 280SL has become an iconic classic in the motoring world and has shown over the past few years’ excellent investment potential.
